Genuine question:
Who have been working on the "front line" - facing general public for last 18 months in close contact?
Who has been working at home or a small office with limited contact with anyone? |

Was in Manchester’s busiest covid wards, now transferring to the ambulance service. |

Mixture of both. Worked from home since last March but working frontline and from home since January |
Reply privately (thread closed by moderator) | |
My day job was a mixture of in the classroom and then a lot online, so WFH.
I've been volunteering most weeks since March as a vaccinator, so have worked one day or so in vaccine clinics. |

As what our company does is so called front line, we have been in contact with our customers on a face to face basis from pretty much day one.
As the products we do fit perfectly into both social distancing and back to work measures, we have never been so busy and the only thing that has slowed us up of late has been getting access to the materials that we use. |

Front line. I actually cared for covid patients.
I have a few jobs, mainly a death doula, but also domiciliary carer in the community. Company I work for took on a lot of covid patients so they could come out of hospital.
Scary times as I wasn't jabbed and we fought to get decent PPE, having to source my own at some points |

Kind of, I work in retail but not supermarkets, I'm amazed not more of my co workers picked up the virus especially seeing how a lot of people have behaved since the beginning of all this. |

It's really strange to see that most of the regular virus forum posters haven't commented.
It's safe to assume they either work from home or a small, isolated office then... |

I'm work for a blue light service, most of the time I work from home but I have to do 16 hours a month on the frontline to keep my skills up.
Had covid in November and I can't say I'd recommend it! |

Im a mental health support worker. Worked all the way through it.
Luckily not effected our homes in a big way but we believe the staff might have had it the December 2019 as we was all ill at one point with some of the symptoms but never know tbh |

Both of us work front line - suffice to say we're very very tired
Although financially we've havent had the worries others have we have seen, heard & experienced more than we ever thought we would sadly. Family life continues seriously disrupted & fractured
And we don't see any abatement yet in our city - cases are still rising, deaths - I'm exhausted  |

Front line in a sense
The building industry doesn’t give a fuck. We worked through the whole thing with no protection and no rules
The UK is the largest industry in the world for property. No where else in the planet is property build, bought and rented by the wealthy than the UK. Nothing was going to stop them making their millions. |

haha im with you there mate, us construction lads worked every day through it, no masks, no social distancing, nothing. literally only 3 people i've known got covid and were back at work two weeks later.
I worked on a few big sites too 300+ men daily. all we really had were those silly one way systems which does fuck all  Some of us were in contact with people with covid but fortunately never got it. |

Front line medic worked right through.
To be fair, I've been treated well.
Time off, good support and backup.
Testing, tiring, never ending backlogs, so what else is new.
On holiday now for sun and fun.. |

I worked an immense amount with patients until I went on maternity suspension at the beginning of the year because they couldn’t protect me whilst pregnant. Came back to work last week and back on it |

There could be many reasons, including not wanting to disclose employment on a forum.
Its fine if you do, but not something we would be comfortable doing.
Also they may just not have seen or had the chance yet, we had not posted for several days as there is life outside of fab.

Doughnut and I worked in a small independent hotel when it hit, we closed immediately (even though the local council was crying out for hotels), made redundant four months into pandemic and then didn't get back on to our feet until end of last year (as we were made homeless and jobless). Doughnut now works from home but started to go into the office one day a week and I work in a care home.
When I got the job they advised me they had five residents with covid and was in lockdown and did I still want to start, as soon as I got my clearance I began, tough at first as doughnut and I was largely shielded from the outside world for most of last year due to our job and home, to go into that environment was hard but I'm glad I did.

It was a provocative post for an agenda. I would ignore it |
